Scientology detox advice ‘could kill patients’
Australians look more closely at Scientology’s “treatment” regimes, and their potential disastrous effects on health.
The Northern Territory Department of Health has warned the Church of Scientology not to give people medical advice on how to detox from drugs and alcohol.
A volunteer Scientology minister in Tennant Creek has been handing out pamphlets suggesting vitamin supplements can treat drug addiction and withdrawal symptoms.
Medical staff at Tennant Creek hospital say the treatment could be fatal if it is used by people on dialysis.
